My Cultivation Insights While I Helped Install Satellite Dishes

(Minghui.org) A practitioner came to my house around 7 a.m. She said six households in her hometown needed help with various technology issues. Four households couldn’t watch New Tang Dynasty Television (NTDTV), and two households wanted to have new receivers installed.

I had to make a difficult decision. My 91-year-old mother had a stroke, and was paralyzed and bedridden. My wife was unjustly imprisoned for many years, lost her memory because she was administered poisonous injections, and couldn’t take care of herself. I had to travel out of town to work on the television receivers, but both my mother and wife needed constant care. I didn’t know what to do.

It was important and urgent that the six households could watch uncensored news and programming from NTDTV. I had to let go of my emotional attachments to my mother and wife, as I knew nothing should interfere with assisting Master with Fa-rectification issues and awakening people.

Thus, I quickly changed my mother’s diaper, fed her, and turned on the MP3 device to play “Pudu” and “Jishi” in a loop for them. After I made all the preparations, I thought, “Master will watch over them and they will be fine.” The practitioner and I packed up the tools and we headed to her hometown.

Once we arrived, we adjusted the receivers for the households in the nearby villages. When we got to the last household, the practitioner who lived there said, “Please keep your voices down and don’t let my husband hear you. He’s asleep.”

A man came down the stairs while we were installing the receiver. The practitioner said it was her husband, and he asked what we were doing. The practitioner explained we were installing a receiver so that they could watch NTDTV television programs.

He exploded, “The government is very strict and does not allow it. You can’t install it! You must uninstall it now! Do you hear me?”

Seeing how angry her husband was, I thought, “I can’t leave and I won’t be moved by his words. Master wants me to do this and I must finish the task. He needs to hear about Falun Dafa and the persecution. I won’t argue with him.” I lowered my head and continued with the installation.

Her husband was furious when he noticed that I didn’t listen to him. He rolled up his sleeves and marched towards me. The practitioner grabbed her husband’s arm and pulled him back. With tears in her eyes, she said, “He isn’t charging us a penny, not even a handling fee, so that we can watch uncensored news. If you watch these programs you’ll understand that Falun Dafa practitioners are telling people the truth, and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been lying.”

When I heard her words, my heart was moved and I thought, “Why am I doing this? It’s already two in the afternoon. I left my mother and wife at home, and they’re waiting for me to cook for them.” My human thoughts kept emerging.

I then realized I was wrong. I thought, “I’m a Dafa practitioner and I’m assisting Master with Fa-rectification issues, and awakening people. I should not be discouraged and I won’t give up, even if I’m beaten.”

Master said,

“... a practitioner should be able to hold back from retaliating, and patiently endure.” (The Ninth Talk, Zhuan Falun)

I asked the practitioner’s daughter-in-law (a non-practitioner), “Should I install the receiver or not?”

She replied, “Go ahead and install it. I don’t listen to my father-in-law, but I listen to my mother-in-law.” She had strong righteous thoughts. I realized I was being tested, and I shouldn’t be moved by ordinary people’s negative emotions.

I felt the Fa melting my heart, and Master’s compassion embracing my body and mind. I felt compassion for the husband and said, “Don’t get upset and don’t be afraid of the CCP. NTDTV’s programming won’t bring you trouble and will only benefit you.”

The husband didn’t say anything and let me finish the installation process. NTDTV’s signal finally became available. It took me two and a half hours, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. to complete the installation.

I got home around five that evening. I checked my mother’s diaper and noticed that there were only urine stains but no feces. While I helped her, I knew that Master watched over my family while I was gone for nearly 10 hours. I only had a bit of clean up to do once I got home.

I am grateful for Master’s protection!
